Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

At this moment, Jiang Xingquan sat down and took a look at his team members.

Although everyone said that fighting to this point, even if they lose, it is worth it, but the problem is that everyone is not as relaxed as they said. The atmosphere on the training ground is obviously that they don't mean what they say... They want to win!

"Shengli, don't you understand? It's not just about sports, it's the same all over the world. If you can compete for first place, who wants to be second?" Jiang Xingquan patted Li Shengli and said, "Before, I didn't dare to think about it, but now I just want to give it a try, just like what Hu Weidong and others said...if we win, we will gain blood, if we lose, we will not lose!"

"That's fine. But considering your recent physical condition, I'll give you a vaccination. Don't hold out too much hope. Sometimes, there are some gaps that are difficult to make up for!" Li Shengli patted Jiang Xingquan's thigh, for fear of The old man said excitedly: "To be honest, with the strength of the US team, as long as they play hard and don't have any accidents, it will be very difficult to lose. I guess if all my teammates in the Lakers are involved, I can't say whether I will win or lose today." good."

"This... is the truth!" At Jiang Xingquan's age, he didn't have the problem of not being able to see the situation clearly, and what Li Shengli said was what he thought, so he took a look at Li Shengli and his face relaxed a lot, and said: "Okay, It all depends on people. If you work hard, I will admit it if you lose, and we have already achieved a big breakthrough. When we return to China this time... we will have a celebration banquet. You are our biggest hero this year."

"Okay, let me follow your old arrangements!"

"Okay, let's train and wait for the competition!"

…

Wait until final time.

It can be said that the Olympic men's basketball team has the biggest impact on the Dream Team, especially in the finals... The sudden rise of the Chinese team once again encountered the old hegemonic team of the United States, so almost the whole world hopes that there will be a replacement on the gold medal throne.

It’s just that Team USA doesn’t think so.

Before the game, the starting lineup of Mourning, Garnett, and Kidd were probably under too much pressure from the fans behind them, and they were not as noisy as usual. But their starting lineup today... Payton was not there, but instead they pulled out the text. Carter and Ray Allen.

It's obvious that Rudy wants to exert force from the outside.

In contrast, the Chinese team's starting lineup on the outside remains unchanged, while the inside duo is the Li Yao combination with outstanding achievements and linkage with the Great Wall. Jiang Xingquan's goal is also clear...the Chinese team must work hard on the inside.

…

The game started to get rough in the first quarter.

According to the previous experience of the Chinese team in competitions, the outside line with abundant talents is always the focus. In this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best defender group in Asia, but that is only within Asia, and facing a full-scale team like Mengsi Among star-level peripheral opponents, no one can help but admit that there is a big gap.

In the first few minutes, I could still defend against it, but after playing for a while, I immediately couldn't keep up.

Especially Kidd's passing was so inexplicable and unexplainable that Lao Guo and the others couldn't do anything about it. In this case, Jiang Xingquan immediately asked everyone to keep an eye on Ray Allen, the fatal three-point shooter in the group stage. .

No matter what the situation, no leaks can be made!

Because everyone scored two points, Li Shengli and Dayao could still suppress it, but if they hit a super high three-pointer, it wouldn't work.

…

This approach is certainly correct, but the problem is that the depth of the US team's bench is terrible.

Rudy immediately replaced Carter with Alan Houston, forming a double shot in the backcourt to relieve Ray Allen, while Payton postponed and prepared to replace Kidd, and such a change... Jiang Xingquan really had no choice.

The good news is that the American team fired from the outside, but the firepower was not as sufficient as in the first game of the group stage. Therefore, in the tug-of-war in the first quarter, both sides had a lead but never exceeded the 3-point range.

There is good and there is bad nature.

The bad news Jiang Xingquan got was...the U.S. team's lineup changed tactics again. There were three guards and two inside men who were slightly different in height but fast. The speed of transition between offense and defense was astonishing, dragging Li Yao to sprint back and forth crazily in the middle of the front and backcourt. .

You must know that the American team is not afraid of physical exertion, but the Chinese team is.

There is no problem with Li Shengli, but Yao You, who is constrained by his height, really cannot keep up with this ultra-fast pace of the game. Although it will not be a big problem if he is placed in an NBA team, the lineup configuration can be accelerated to the greatest extent. It can relieve the pressure of switching offense and defense, but it doesn't work today, because Lao Guo and others are also tired from running, and they can't outrun Meng Si.

Even if the old coach Jiang Xingquan changes players, this problem will still exist, and this gap will be right in front of us.

The further this situation goes on, the more wild Rudy's tactical arrangements become. He takes down all the outside shooters, replaces them with several breakthrough players from Carter, and even uses the knife on the final inside line... Mourning rests, Garnett, Baker, McDyess and Raheem all accelerated. The key is that these people are still the first-tier insiders in the league. The four players rotate, there is no need to worry about physical consumption, and they all avoid Li Shengli.

This fight left Li Shengli helpless.

Seeing Dayao being replaced, it was useless for Da Zhi to stand up, because no matter how he played, the inside efficiency was not as good as the US team's ultra-fast offense. He even became more and more impatient as he played, and Da Zhi's touch also had problems. After repeated misses, Li Shengli had no choice but to force his way into the double-team.

Evenly matched in the first quarter, they lost by 5 points in the second quarter and by 8 points in the second half.

Until the end of the game, the U.S. team's playing time was almost evened out. Everyone played for a while, so everyone's physical fitness was at its peak. However, these All-Star players were very adaptable to this rhythm. This is an advantage that no team in this Olympics has.

So, this game is over...

The Chinese team lost by 13 points, more than they lost in the first game of the group stage.

As for this final result.

Up until now, the Chinese team's results were an unexpected surprise, and stopping in this first- and second-place final was also expected. After all, everyone has to face the gap. Shaking the foundation of the Dream Team cannot be achieved overnight. solved problem.

But no matter what, all the team members, including coach Jiang Xingquan, felt it was worth it, because this was a result that no one had ever dreamed of before, and they could win a silver medal. Li Shengli had the same idea.

Want to screw up the dream team?

The Chinese men's basketball team can't do it yet, but the current result is already a historic breakthrough.

Maybe in the future... these old teammates this year, Lao Guo and Lao Hu will retire one after another, but they will definitely not leave this circle. Everyone will wear this medal of merit, prepare new blood for the men's basketball team, and hand over The guns and horns of the men's basketball team continue to hit the best record of the men's basketball team.

…

As for after this Olympic Games is over...

Dayao's matter is almost done. There will definitely be no problem in the NBA. Jordan and even Stern hope to facilitate this matter, and the domestic problems that were originally worried about do not exist, because the old coach Jiang Xingquan is the vice chairman of Blue Shoes. With him Help can basically clear away resistance, and the rest is to choose a suitable time.

And then there's the NBA.

It's early October now, and the NBA's new season is set for the end of October.

In the meantime, the Lakers should train about two weeks in advance. The key is that there is the Greenville Summit before the training. This matter is beneficial to the league. Therefore, even Stern, whose relationship with Li Shengli has been developing rapidly recently, is urging Li Shengli to go back. Li Shengli was very pressed for time.

To be honest, Li Shengli didn't care too much about these.

For him, the only thing he cares about is that 2000 was a regrettable year without a championship. This was very uncomfortable, so his first task when he returned to the United States was... to find a way to give O'Neal a good beating. goods.

Of course, judging from the previous situation, the Lakers need to strengthen their inside line. Li Shengli doesn't know how prepared West and his team are. Are there any surprises or have they caught any strong new players?

Dear gentlemen. . Sorry for the lack of update on my request for leave today.
